I present the latest in U-Boot Qualcomm development. This is a pre-production Fairphone 5 running U-Boot as a full replacement to Qualcomms proprietary EDK2 stack
This means unlike in the typical case on a phone where the display has already been configured for us by edk2, we have to turn on all the regulators, configure all the clocks and phys, program the display controller and basically do everything ourselves.
This is the first command mode panel I have working and being a whole different soc to my initial bringup it proves that the drivers are flexible enough to enable broad support.
i hope to eventually land these drivers upstream, starting with the common clock framework port.
@v02460 the hope is that i'll continue being funded to improve things upstream through my dayjob, and we'll keep getting more tinkerer oriented devices like the lovely MNT reform and qualcomms own arduino uno Q which have "official" uboot support
the feature delta for a phone vendor to actually ship it is still huge, and they would likely be entirely on their own with no support from qualcomm so it will likely take some strong motivation and likely grant funding for a vendor like fairphone to even consider it.
